Mitti Dam, Embankment dam in Kutch District, Gujarat, India
Mitti Dam is an embankment dam crossing the Mitti River, built using a combination of concrete and earthen materials for structural stability. The project was designed to harness water resources across a significant span to serve the surrounding region.
The dam was completed in 1983, marking a key milestone for water management in the region. Since then, it has served as a reservoir to store and distribute water to the surrounding areas.
The dam forms a central part of water resource management in Gujarat, supporting agricultural communities throughout the Kutch District region.
The dam stores water that is distributed to farming and other water needs in the surrounding area. Visitors can view the structure from the surrounding terrain and gain insight into how such projects manage water resources.
The structure was selected by a national water research institute in 1994 for a detailed break-safety study. This investigation contributed valuable findings about the reliability of dam projects throughout the country.
